Second collection of work from Crimethinc’s poet laureate. 332 (largely short) poems which run the gamut of incarceration, alienation, hope, despair, and all the barbs that society throws at us. The author is now out of prison, though much of this was written whille still inside. All encased in the usual lavish, beautiful CrimethInc production. This isn’t the poetry they made you read in high school-no flowery descriptions, no scientifically metaphors and no mathematical meter. The poems in Rusty String Quartet are urgent, quick and brutal-poems that had to be written.
